If pressed, I would say that right now Minor is our best pitcher. I think Teheran has the most potential though. I could see him developing into a borderline ace.

If Medlen is not hurt, he is our best IMO. Most people do not realize this:

"Medlen's ERA since the 2012 All-Star break is second only to Clayton Kershaw among pitchers with at least 250 innings pitched in that period and he's won three of the past eight NL Pitcher of the Month awards while no other pitcher in baseball has won more than one over the same span."

"By Steve Adams [March 10 at 12:08pm CST]
The Braves have acquired right-hander Zach Stewart from the White Sox in exchange for cash considerations, according to the Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan (on Twitter)."

I don't think this is a good sign about what is expected from the MRI results on Meds today, hope I'm wrong. Apparently Stewart has logged 106 innings at the Major League level with an ERA of near 7.......

Braves can't afford to go the entire season with Freddy Garcia as their number 4 starter. Have to strongly consider Ervin Santana. A rotation of Minor, Santana, Beachy, Teheran, and Wood/Garcia/Hale/Floyd is a lot better than Teheran, Garcia, Wood, Hale, and...

Because right now with Beachy's arm a mess, I don't expect too much from him ever again, honestly, Minor going to be sidelined for a couple weeks to start the season, and Medlen appearing to be gone for the year, our rotation is a mess.

I agree, I am just scared to death of who Wren goes after if we don't land Santana given our financial limitations. Perhaps he brings Paul Byrd down out of the broadcast booth to eat a few innings, on a serious note I am hoping Wood can be a major contributor.
